Two capillary tubes $A$ and $B$ of the same internal diameter are kept vertically in two different liquids whose densities are in the ratio $4:3$. If the surface tensions of these two liquids are in the ratio $6:5$,then the ratio of rise of liquid in capillary $A$ to that in $B$ is (assume their angles of contact are nearly equal).

Three liquids of densities $\rho_1, \rho_2$ and $\rho_3$ (with $\rho_1 > \rho_2 > \rho_3$),having the same value of surface tension $T$,rise to the same height in three identical capillaries. The angles of contact $\theta_1, \theta_2$ and $\theta_3$ obey:

$A$ glass capillary tube of inner diameter $0.28 \,mm$ is lowered vertically into water in a vessel. The pressure to be applied on the water in the capillary tube so that the water level in the tube is the same as that in the vessel is ............ $\times 10^3 \,N/m^2$ (surface tension of water $= 0.07 \,N/m$ and atmospheric pressure $= 10^5 \,N/m^2$).

Water rises to a height of $10 \,cm$ in a capillary tube. In which of the following conditions will it rise to a height much greater than $10 \,cm$ in a very long capillary tube?

In a capillary tube,water rises to $3\, mm$. The height of water that will rise in another capillary tube having one-third radius of the first is ........ $mm$.
